Bruce A. Ducharme, 68, of Spring Hill, Florida passed away December 23rd, 2021. Born in Glens Falls, New York. A loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend. He is survived by his wife Lynda; son Dustin (Jenny) with grandchildren Jackson and Scarlett; daughter Vanessa (Matthew); siblings Margo, Brian, and Julie (Scott); along with a number of nieces and nephews.
He loved camping, cruising, bowling, fishing, going to Nascar races, Disney World, and watching his sports (Bucs, Rays and Lightning). He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren. He enjoyed retirement from being a cabinet maker but kept active on the sidelines. He had an eye for detail and was very artistic. He loved making things with wood and was helpful if anyone needed something fixed or made new. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and was very charitable in his activities.
We celebrate his life with his family and friends on January 16, 2022.

I didn’t tell my dad enough, in words, how truly thankful I am for the love and support he showed me throughout my life; I wish I had. Although he’s gone, I can always talk to him in spirit, because I have faith that he will hear me no matter where I am. Even now, as I write this message, I see his face smiling at me with warmth and unconditional love; so, I say to him, “Dad, I will always remember our midnight snacks together—eating peanut butter toast and cereal while watching Discovery Channel. I will never forget how you went to every single one of my music performances to cheer me on and show your support. I will always cherish the Christmases when we put up decorations, especially when we built the Christmas village together. Dad, there are so many more wonderful memories of us…I will treasure and guard all of them in my heart forever. I love you, always.”

Al and I send our deepest sympathy to you Lynda and your family. We are at a loss for words after George told us of Bruce’s passing. We hold you and your family close to our hearts at this time and may our lord Jesus Christ give you the strength to carry on. God’s blessings always.

Its been a heartbreaking loss for our family to lose our beloved Brucie!!!! This weekend we will try to bring some closure to our nightmare. It will have to be from afar for us, but I feel his presence when i look at all the photos of him and us together and mostly, whenever i think of him!!! He was and always will be, my hero, my big brother, my friend, my supporter. He was always there to help anyone with whatever they needed. He gave the best hugs, I will miss them!! My family and I will miss him so much. I’m not sure how I will ever reconcile that he is actually gone. It’s so surreal right now. He will be always in our hearts, now he will have no more pain or limitations and he will be reunited with the loved ones that we have lost. 🥰🥰🥰. Love you brother Bruce!! I know you are at peace. I thank God for you and all our memories!

The Love of my Life for 45 years. We have shared so many memories of the good and fun times. When things were difficult, we learned to figure things out together and grew to respect and love each other even more.
I will miss you as I do now but, will always remember the love we had for one another. I am thankful for the wonderful friends and the people we worked with. They have been there for us as you have been there in time of need. They are our brothers and sisters.
God had a plan for you to join his holy family and our family and friends in Heaven. You are in his loving care. I am comforted to know that you are no longer suffering and are in a happy place. I am happy too because I have the most important thing in the world with their love and support…. Family.
May God and his angels look down upon us for guidance and protection. Life goes on with you watching over me… until we meet again!
All my Love, Lynda

7:19…we all stood by your side, all loved ones could not be present but I’ll tell your story through my eyes.
– You Lie there so peaceful as we reminisce upon your life. You meant so much to everyone, in different ways you touched our lives
– Your presence is felt as we all gathered by your side. The preacher begins his prayer, “Bruce…for ever you’ll be my child”.
– We comfort you even further because you had so much love to give. In our hearts and our souls you my friend will forever live.
– His Father’s name was Walter, his Mother’s name was Joyce, all three were taken too early as none of us had a choice.
– A husband, A Father, A Brother, No bother.
A blessing to all…as we now bow our heads in Sorrow.
- You will be forever missed, now its time to say goodbye. We kiss your warm forehead once more and together we shall cry.
– No more pain to feel, as now it’s time to go.
You look down upon us and lead us where we’re to go.
– Say Hello to all the loved ones we’ve lost along the way, together we shall meet again for everyone will see that day.
